Dear Alex:
Reference: LANTERMAN CREEK 1985 REPORT NEWCASTLE LAND DISTRICT
Attached are two copies of the above mentioned report with the changes you requested in your letter of November 1, 1985.
As we discussed over the phone, this was a very preliminary drilling program and all of the resulting work was plotted on a 1:50,000 map. If we intend to carry out further programs we will be flying over the property and generating larger scale topographic maps.
The licences on which holes were actually drilled are coal licences 8019, 8021, 7826, 7822, 7827, 7828, 7829, 7830, 7832 and 8013.
Included with these two reports are two copies of the geophysical logs.
I trust the report has been altered to your satisfaction and that you will call if there are further questions.
Yours truly,
~JIgzh.h--. . R.A. Swaren, P. Geol. Manager Coal

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
From the information obtained during the 1985 Phase I drilling
program it can be concluded that the Lanterman Creek coal seam is
too thin over most of the property to be considered economically
mineable by underground methods at the present time.
The following is a point form summary of the contents of each
section of this report:
SUMMARY
A) Lanterman Creek consists of 5,189 hectares (10,525 acres)
held as B.C. coal licences. This land is controlled 100% by
Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd.
Bl In April/May of 1985 Canadian Occidental drilled 10 holes and
one core hole for a total of 1076.5 meters (3,532 feet) at a,
total cost of $81,813.95. This was called the Phase I drilling
program.
Cl Geologically the Lanterman Creek property is a northeasterly
dipping downdrop fault block. Beds dip at an average of 5" to
15" to the northeast along the western or outcrop edge of the
property. Smaller associated faults were also indicated in the
drilling program.
D) The major coal seam is found at the base of the Comox
formation and varies from 0.6m (2.0 feet) to 5.5 meters (18 feet)
in thickness.
E) Over most of the ,property except in the immediate vicinity of
Outcrop No. 41 the coal is less than 0.9m (3.0 feet) thick and
therefore there are no economically underground mineable seams of
coal at Lanterman Creek.
(iv)
F) From the one core hole it was found that the quality was
quite good except for a fairly high ash of 15.8% at 1.6 float and
a low recovery of onl,y 28.4%. The heat content is about 6740
kcal/Kg (12,132 BTU's/lb). This coal would have made a good
export grade thermal coal and may have been amenable to blending
with metallurgical grade coal.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Canadian Occidental reta in these coa
licences numbered 7822-7833 and 8011-8023 inclusive until May 1
1
1986 as the work committments and licence rental is paid in ful
up until that time.
,
1
If in the intervening time any favourable coal occurances ar e encountered on these licences and Canadian Occidental wishes to
retain them past 1986, the following expenditures would be
required:
' To retain licences until May 1, 1987, from May 1, 1986
Licences 7822-7833
Work committment remaining = 7,726.95
Licence rental = 13,245.OO
Subtotal $ 20,971.95
Licences 8011-8023
Work committment remaining = 19,512.50
Licence rental = 7,805.OO
Subtotal $ 27,317.50
TOTAL $ 48,289.45
The total cost to retain these licences from May 1, 1986 until
May 1, 1987 is $48,289.45 according to the present B.C. coal
policy.
If the ploicy changes in the remaining time, work committments
will no longer be required but coal icence rental will double to
$lO.OO/hectare and the cost to retain the licences will be
$51,890.00.
(v)
If nothing happens pryor to 1986 to make the Lanterman Creek
property look more favourable it is recommended that Canadian
Occidental allow the coal licences to lapse on May 1, 1986.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
In early 1984 the acreage known as "Lanterman Creek" was applied
for by Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd. This aquistion was I
recommended in order to block off a possible underground mineable
reserve of coal located near existing infrastructure and tide- . water.
I After aquiring the licences on the Lanterman Creek property a
preliminary mapping program was carried out in May of 1984. This
m mapping program provided enough encouragement that it led to the
execution of the Phase I drilling program. The purpose, scope
and conclusions of this program are all contained in this, the I
resulting report.
m 1.1 Purpose and Scope
I The Phase I drilling program was carried out in order to:
A) Determine the thickness and extent of the coal measures at
I Lanterman Creek especially with respect to the major coal outcrop
located in the north.
Bl Determine the quality of the coal if economically mineable I
thicknessess of coal were encountered.
Cl Determine the reserve potential of the property and possibly I mineability.
Dl Decide on whether or not to proceed with the Phase II
I drilling program.
I 1.2 Location Extent and Access
The Lanterman Creek property is located in the west central I
portion of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. (Map No. 11 It
is located mainly in the Newcastle Land District approximately 26 I kilometers (16 miles) north of the town of Port Alberni.
- 2 -
The aerial extent of the property is approximately 5,189 hectares
(10,525 acres). It extends approximately 18.5 kilometers (11.5
miles) in length and 3 kilometers (2 miles) width.
Two major roads provide access to the property. One route is by
McMillan Bloedels all-weather logging road from Sproat Lake.
This road can be reached by travelling west from Alberni via
highway No. 4 for approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) to the
SPROAT LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK TURNOFF. This is a paved secondary
highway which continues northwest for 8 kilometers (5 miles) to
Great Central Lake. From Great Central Lake the gravelled
logging road begins. The Ash River property is situated approxi-
mately 16 kilometers (10 miles) up this road. Accessibility
throughout the lease block occurs on well maintained gravelled
logging roads. The accessible roads are marked on Map No. 6
The second major access road is the Beaver Creek road. This road
is a paved secondary road which runs northwest from Port Alberni
for a distance of 14 kilometers (9 miles). The pavement turns
into McMillan Bloedel logging roads on the property from this
point north. This road provides good quick access to the
southern and eastern portions of the property whereas the Sproat
Lake road provides access to the west central and northwestern
portions of the property. However either road can be used for
access to the entire property.
The Beaver Creek road continues northwest and finally northeast
from the property to the town of Courtenay. The author has not
travelled this road but it appears to be passable.
1.3 Physiography
The Lanterman Creek property is situated in the Alberni Valley
which is flanked to the east and west by mountains of the
Beaufort Range.

Relief in the valley is moderate, ranging from a low of 180
meters (600 feet) a.s.1. to a high of 420 meters (1,400 feet
a.s.1). Generally the valley is typified by gently rolling
hills. In the northern end of the property the valley is
narrower and hillier, broadening out to the south towards Port
Alberni.
All of streams and major rivers drain towards the southeast.
Several lakes in the area; most notably Elsie and Dickson Lake
receive water from Istreams flowing from the west. Streams
flowing from the eastern mountains flow into the Ash River. This
river also drains the Lakes and then carries the water southeast
into the Stamp River which then enters the Somass River and
finally flows into the Alberni inlet at the town of Port Alberni.
The area has been forested once or probably twice in the past.
Trees in the area vary in age, depending on when the logging took
place. The oldest regenerated growth appears to be in the order
of 30 to 40 years old.
Forest cover consists mainly of fir, spruce and cedar with some
deciduous trees. Streams and marshy areas contain stands of
Alder which is harvested by the public for fuel for fireplaces.
Undergrowth is varied and heavy.
1.4 Mining History on Vancouver Island
Coal was first reported by natives on Vancouver Island in 1835.
This coal was found in the Suquash coal field on the northern end
of Vancouver Island.
In 1849 the Hudson's Bay Company imported 100 miners from England
to mine coal in the Suquash coal field to supply fuel for
steamships. In the same year (18491, Indians reported finding
- 5 -
coal in the Nanaimo area of Vancouver Island. The Hudson's Bay
Company operated mines in the Nanaimo field from 1852 until 1862
when they sold their holdings to the Vancouver Coal Mining and
Land Company. They mined until 1902 when they sold out to the
Western Fuel Comapny of California. This company operated until
1928 when they were purchased by Canadian Colleries (Dunsmuir)
Ltd.
Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd., also controlled all of the
other coal mines on the Island and in 1888 the first coal mine
was started up in the Conmox coal field. This company then
controlled all the coal lands on the east coast of Vancouver
Island under the Esquimalt and Nanimo railway land grant.
In the productive years from 1836 to 1968, a total of approxi-
mately 74,650,OOO short tons of coal was produced from Vancouver
Island's coal fields. Of this total, approximately 22,000 tons
was produced from Suquash, 54,087,860 tons from the Nanimo field
and 20,540,OOO tons from the Comox coal field (Map No. 2).
There are three main seams which were mined in the Comox coal
field in the past. Weldwood/Brinco, Quinsam Lake mine will be
mining these three main seams.
At Lanterman Creek past exploration has only identified one and
possibly two major seams in the Comox formation.
Excerpts from Buckham's original field diary Circa. 1920 indicates four main coal outcrops discovered in the early 1920

1.5 Exploration to Date
- 7 -
The first work was documented by Buckham in his personal diaries
in the 1920's. :Since the finding of the four outcrops described
work had been carried in the preceding section, little mapping
out until 1984.
In 1979, Hudson's Bay Oil and Gas carr
Drilling Program on the Lanterman Creek 1
,ied out an Exp
'roperty. This
loratory
program
was part of an option agreement with the owners of the coal
licences; RAMM VENTURES. In 1979 HBOG drilled 14 holes for a
total of 1,280 meters (4,200 feet) and a cost of $115,000.00.
One of the holes was a core hole but it only cored a thin 3 foot
seam and no analysis was carried out on the coal.
As a result of this drilling program, Hudson's Bay Oil and Gas
dropped their options with Ramm Ventures.
Subsequently, in 1982 Ramm Ventures dropped the coal licences on
the Lanterman Creek area, since they did not have the available
funds to carry out the work committment and since no other
companies wished to option the
report.

In 1984, Canadian Occidental appl ied for the coal licences for
the area and carried out a preliminary reconnaisance and mapping
program. The program provided e.nough encouragement to lead to
proposal for a drilling program.
In April and May of 1985 Canadian Occidental drilled 10 holes and
one core hole for a total of 1076.5 meters (3,532 feet). This
program provides the basis for this report and the' conclusions
contained within.

I 1.6 Regional Development
To date there are only two other coal developments on Vancouver I
Island. One, is the Wolfe Mountain Coal Mine on Wolfe Mountain
just west of the town of Nanaimo (Map No. 2). This mine is q underground and is built to produce up to 100,000 tonnes/year of
thermal coal. The coal is shipped out by barge to supply local
I cement and other companies. This mine started production in
1984.
The second mine is the Brinco/Weldwood Quinsam Lake Mine, located
near Quinsam Lake west of the town of Campbell River. This mine I
is to be a surface operation which would produce approximately
900,000 tonnes/year of bituminous thermal coal. Final approval q was given in May of 1984, however, it is not known as to when the
mine would actually begin construction or production.
I
1.7 Existing Infrastructure
The Lanterman Creek property is situated in close proximity to
major roads, rail, seaport, utilities and services as illustrated I
on Map No. 3. THe TransCanada Highway No. 4, the main highway
serving the region passes within 8 kilometers (5 miles) of the I southern boundary of the property. This highway runs from
highway No. 19 at Parksville to the east, westwards to Tofino on
I the west coast of Vancouver Island. There are two other paved
roads in the area. Both of these run north towards Lanterman
I Creek from highway No. 4. One road runs to the fish hatchery at
Great Central Lake and the other is the Beaver Creek Road which
passes Stamp Falls Provincial Park. Other main roads are I
McMillan Bloedel logging roads which provide excellent access
throughout the area. I

A Canadian Pacific Railway line (old Esquimalt & Nanaimo Rail-
ways) runs from the mainline at Parksville to Port Alberni,
passing within 8 Km (5 miles) of the southern boundary of the
property.
A deepwater port at Port Alberni is a first class harbour at the
end of the 'fiord-like' Alberni Inlet which provides access 48
km. (30 miles) to the open Pacific Ocean and the Pacific Rim
trading Countries. The Alberni Inlet averages 1.6 kilometers (1
mile) in width encountering depths of 200 fathoms (366 meters)
(1,200 feet). The port is serviced by three stevedoring compan-
ies and is governed by the Port Alberni Harbour Commission. The
Harbour Commission owns and operates three deep sea berths
capable of handling ships up to 315 meters (1,050 feet) in
length.
The City and area of Port Alberni contains a population of
approximately 32,560 persons (1983). The services provided in
this area for the people, such as recreation, education, medical,
shopping, etc. are adequate to handle an increased population due
to the possible construction of a mine.
The economic base at Port Alberni has developed mainly around the
forestry and fishing industries. McMillan Bloedel Ltd. operates
Canada's largest integrated forest products complex. This
includes two sawmills, a plywood plant and a pulp and paper
mill. Most of the products produced are exported.
More than 300 fishing vessels operate in the District. These
account for 20% of British Columbi~a's Salmon yield. Fish
processing is carried out and two companies rear Salmon on the
inlet for commercial marketing. Secondary manufacturing in
support of the above two industries supports the bulk of the
population of the area.
- 11 -
Tourism is fast becoming another industry of the area. This was
sparked by the opening of the Pacific Rim National Park on the
west coast in 1971.
Utilities in the area include power supplied by the B.C. Hydro
and Power authority and Natural Gas is supplied by pipeline by
Cigas Products Ltd. and Valley Rock Gas.
In summary the area contains all of the desirable infrastructure
required to support a coal mine with the added advantage of a
deep sea port.

In 1977, Ramm Venture Corporation first acquired coal licences in
the Ash River area. They carried out very minimal work and
finally optioned their acreage to HudBay Coal Company in 1979.
After completing the I4 hole drilling program in 1979, HudBay
subsequently decided not to excercise their option and the land
reverted wholly back to Ramm Venture Corporation.
By 1982 work committments were again required on the Ash River
property. Since Ramm Venture Corporation could not find more
partners to option the land and did not want to expend the money
themselves they dropped their coal licences.
On February 7, 1984, Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd. made
application on 3,628 hectares (9,700 acres) of land in the
Lanterman Creek area. Coal licences were granted on 2,649
hectares (6,622 acres) on May 1, 1984. These licences were
numbered 7822 - 7833 inclusive (Map No. 41.
On May 1, 1985 coal licences were granted on a further 1,561
hectares (3,903 acres) of land. These licences numbered 8011 to
8023 inclusive covered the remaining land from the first appli-
cation as well as additional acreage applied for in late 1984.
Therefore, the total acreage held by Canadian Occidental in
Lanterman Creek is 5,189 hectares (10,525 acres).

3.1 Regional Stratigraphy
The Upper Cretaceous sediments of the Nanaimo Group outcrop along
I the east coast of Vancouver Island from south of Nanaimo, for
approximately 200 kilometers (125 miles) to a point north of
Campbell River (Map No. 21. The coal bearing Nanaimo Group I comprises a succession of Lithologies, which with the exception
of coal seams, are elastic and range from boulder conglomerate to
I shale with most of the intervening spectrum presented.
1 There are five clearly defined basins composed of the Nanaimo
Group of sediments. These are; from south to north; Cowichan,
I Nanaimo, Comox, :juquash and the one we are concerned with, the
Alberni Basin. All of the basins have some indications of coal,
but only the Comox, Nanaimo and possibly the Alberni Basins are I believed to have coal reserves of economic importance.
I The sediments of the Nanaimo Group rest unconformably on metavol-
canics and argillites of the Jurassic and Triassic Vancouver
I Group. The main formation of this group in the Comox and Alberni
coal fields being the basic volcanic rocks of the Triassic
Karmutsen formation. This formation forms the eastern and I
western boundaries of the Alberni Basin as well as the basement.
I The Nanaimo group is about 2,150 meters (7,000 feet) thick in the
Nanaimo basin; 600 meters (2,000 feet) in the Comox basin and an
I estimated 600 meters (2,000 feet) in the Alberni basin where the
Lanterman Creek property is located. Within this thickness of
a sediments are two main formations which are coal bearing. These
formations are the Comox and Extension-Protection formations.
I Both are found in the Nanaimo and Comox coal basins but only the
former is coal bearing in the Comox basin and the latter in the

Nanaimo basin. In the Alberni basin only the Comox and Haslam I formations were encountered in the field, however, the Extension-
Protection may be present. The Comox formation is the coal
I bearing formation at Lanterman Creek in the Alberni basin.
Although both formations are of late Cretaceous age, the Exten-
q sion-Protection is younger than the Comox (Figure 1).
The Nanaimo Group coal seams were probably deposited in a I
paralic-basin (i.e. a coal basin formed in a coastal lowland
area), and the environment was probably a lagoon, separated from I the sea by sand bars (Mueller-1971).
I What we are concerned with in this report is the possible
economic importance of the coal seams present in the Comox
q formation in the Alberni coal basin.
3.2 Regional Structure I
The Nanaimo strata in the Comox coal field and to some extent in I the Alberni coal field are contained by down faulting depression
and tilting to the north east.
Linear faults trend northeast and northwest with oblique faults
of intermediate trends. The dominant faults are linear. I
These li~near faults have greater displacement overall, and they I
exerted major control over the distribution of outcrops. The
tectonic pattern is one of block faulting in response to the
I prevailing northeast tilt.
I The Lanterman Creek property exhibits this prevailing northeast
tilt as seen on the Geology Map No. 5.
- 17 - I
3.3 Lanternan Creek Surficial Deposits
The Lanterman Creek property is overlain by a mantle of glacial
and fluvioglacial deposits of clay, silts, gravels and till.
In this drilling program the 10 holes encountered till thickness
varying from 0 meters to 38 meters. The drilling program showed
that till cover is particulary thick in the centre of the
property. These deposits cover most of the outcrop on the
property. The majority of the outcrop was found in river and
creek beds; in steep road cuts and on the steep hill sides in the
northern end of ,the property.
As can be seen on Map 5., the area covered by the Haslam Shales
is quite barren of outcrop. This is probably due to the low flat
hills which were formed due to the poorly resistant shales and
silty shales and the ease with which they are eroded.
Lanternan Creek Stratigraphy
The stratigraphic units of interest in the Lanterman Creek
property area are those elastic continental rocks contained
within the Nanaimo Group. This group represents four transgres-
sive cycles grading upwards from non-marine coarse elastic to
marine fine elastic sediments and a fifth cycle with only
non-marine coarse elastics.
It has been stated that the three units within the Lanterman
Creek areas are the Comox, Haslam and Extension-Protection
formations from the base upwards. The field mapping program only
encountered the Comox and Haslam formations which represent the
first depositional cycle. However, there may be some evidence of
the Extension-Protection formation on the eastern edge of the
property which is covered by glacial till and where outcrops are
scarce Map No. 5.
- 18 -
COWOX FORMATION
In the Lanterman Creek coal field this formation has been
deposited directly upon the pre-Cretaceous unconformaity with the
Karmutsen Volcanics which forms the boundary of the basin as well
as the basement (Map No. 51.
As can be seen in the cross-sections in the Appendix, the Comox
formation varies in thickness, thinning from south to north.
The Comox formation has a basal fluvial conglomerate called the
Benson member. However this conglomerate is usually of only
local extent and is found in low areas and stream channels of the
paleotopographic relief of the erosional surface of the Karmutsen
Volcanics. This Benson member was only found in the southern end
of property on the Ash River at outcrop No. 32 and No. 34 on Map
No. 5. In the drilling program it was encountered in holes
L.C. 85-02, 06, 07, 08 and 09. The conglomerate which is dark
green and brown coloured and poorly bedded, varied in thickness,
but at one point it forms water falls on the river and the
stratigraphic thickness was at~least 5 meters. The components of
the conglomerate are unsorted subangular boulders, pebbles and
grit composed mainly of pre-Cretaceous material.
The sandstones overlying this conglomerate at Outcrop No. 31 also
contained widely scattered boulders and pebbles inclusions formed
by pre-Cretaceous basement rocks.
These sandstones are quartz feldspathic in nature and vary in
hardness and grain size. Within these sandstone units are beds
of coal, shale and conglomerate.
It is this formation which contains the coal seam within the
Lanterman Creek property area.
Lying directly and conformably upon the Comox formation, is the
Haslam formation.

HASLAM FORMATION
This formation varies from 200 - 300 meters in thickness on the
property.
As can be seen on Map No. 5, the formation is confined to the
east-central portion of the property since it has been eroded
away in the north and the south. The formation was located at
Outcrop No. 5 and possibly at Outcrop No. 6. However, Outcrop 6
has been called Comox formation in this report.
The Haslam formation is composed of sandy shales and shaley
sandstones which are thinly bedded and soft to medium hard.
One drill hole, L.C. 85-07 has a thick sandy shale zone (60.9
meters thick) above the sandstone zone. This sandy shale seams
to be the Haslam formation. Immediately above this formation is
supposed to exist the EXTENSION-PROTECTION formation.
EXTENSION-PROTECTION
This formation is the basal portion of the second deposited
cycle. It was not encountered in the field reconnaisance or the
drilling program, but some of the formation may be present in the
far east-central portions of the property. As with the Comox
basin this formation would be barren of coal in this, the Alberni
Basin.
This formation is usually composed of coarse elastic facies where
conglomerate, pebbly sandstone and arkosic sandstones are
interbedded.
- 20 -
3.5 Lanterman Creek Structure
It appears that the Alberni valley is a downdrop fault block
which has protected much of the basal portion of the Nanaimo
Group from erosion.
The western edge of the basin does not appear to be fault
controlled as indicated by J.E. Muller's 1977 geologic map of the
southern half of Vancouver Island. Outcrop 34 on the Ash River
shows the unconformable contact of the Basal Benson conglomerate
with the Karmutsen volcanics. Faulting is not in evidence.
To the north, the coal seam at outcrop No. 41 is in the very
basal portion of the Comox formation and is located very near the
'pear unconformable Karmutsen contact. Faulting again does not ap

The eastern edge of the basin appears to be fault control
The basin is a downdrop block and the entire basin dips, on

the
average, to the northeast. This structural feature is common in
the Comox and Nanaimo coal basins of the east side of the Island.
In the far northern portion of the property a synicalinal feature
was identified by Field Mapping, however the southern 3/4 of the
property did not contain surface evidence of this structure
(cross sections).
Dips along the western edge of the property average 10" to 15' to
the northeast. These dips shallow out in the central and eastern
portions of the basin to 5' to 10".
Strikes are variable suggesting smaller fault blocks in the
Nanaimo Group sediments. One such fault has been postulated in
the central portion of the basin. This fault brings the Comox
formation and Haslam formation up again causing a widening in the
basin east wards.

The drilling program of 1985 identified the existence of one coal
zone. This zone was encountered in three drill holes; L.C. 85-
06, L.C. 85-07 and L.C. 85-08. The thickness of this zone varies
from 0.6 to 0.8 meters and was taken from the geophysical logs.
The following summarizes the drill holes which encountered the
coal zone.

According to the observations of drill chips and the one core

50% of the coal zone. The coal zone is thin and dirty.
In this drilling program continuity of the coal zone was recog-
nized only between holes L.C. 85-06 and L.C. 8507, a distance of
approximately 2 kilometers. (see cross-sections in Appendix)

4.0 DRILLING SUMMARY
I
During April and May of 1985, 11 drill holes for 1,076.5 meters
m (3,532 feet) were completed on the Lanterman Creek property. The
drilling consisted of 10 rotary drill holes to define the
m structure and stratigraphy and one core hole to core the coal
zone.
m All holes were drilled with air using a down hole hammer. In all
cases gravel cover was cased with steel casing. The casing was
I set using a casing hammer.
m From the information available before drilling, the coal zone
appeared to be located near the bottom of the formation or near
the volcanic basement. I
Therefore, all of the drill holes were
intended to drill into the volcanic basement.
I One drill hole, L.C. 85-07 could not reach the basement due to
the fact that the hole was making more water than the air
m compressor on the rig could handle. However, this hole reached
what is believed to be the basal Benson conglomerates and it is
m assumed that there would be very little sediments between these
conglomerates and the volcanic basement.
I Of the 10 drill holes, 2 failed to reach sediments because it
was impossible to hammer the casing through the gravel cover due I to large boulders. This happened in drill holes L.C. 85-04 and
L.C. 85-10.
m
All of the drill holes were logged geophysically with Gamma,
m Neutron, Density, Resistivity and caliper tools. The resistivity
didn't work well in holes L.C. 85-05, L.C. 85-06 and L.C. 85-07
I due to the presence to large amounts of salt water. Two drill
holes, L.C. 85-05 and L.C. 85-07 had considerable amounts of salt
- 23 -
water. Calcite in the chip samples indicated fracture zones.
This salt water probably travelled along these fracture zones
from depth. The fracture zones are summarized as follows:

Approximate depth of Fracture (ml
113m and 129m

ides which indicates
Drill hole L.C. 85-05 reached the volcan ic basement, but this
volcanic rock was different than that encountered in the other
holes. In L.C. 85-05 the basement was acid plutonic rock which
can often be seen in the creeks as float. It is white in colour
with hornblende crystals. On the other hand, the other drill
holes encountered basic volcanic rock which is green in colour.
This seems to indicate the intrusion of acid plutonic rock into
the basic volcanic rock in the vicinity of L.C. 85-05.
The correlation of sediments between drill holes is very diffi-
cult because of the lack of a key marker bed. Most of the
sediments are sandstone which seems to be of three major kinds;
light grey; greenish and off white. Of these three colour types
the greenish coloured one is used for correlations.
The drilling is summarized on the drill hole summary sheets,
Lithologic logs and cross-sections found in the Appendix.
I - 24 -
I 5.0 RESERVES
The thickest coal interval encountered on the Lanterman Creek I
property was 0.8m (2.6 feet) thick and was located in hole
L.C. 85-08. This hole is less than l/2 mile from the major coal I outcrop on the property at outcrop No. 41, where 5.5 meters (18
feet) of coal and shale was found. This coal seems to shale out
I and thin out considerably in every direction.
Y In looking for economic reserves of coal, especially for under-
ground mining a cutoff of 1.5 meters (5.0 feet) was arbitrarily
agreed on. If the coal seams encountered were less than this I
thickness they would not be considered mineable.
I Using the thickness criteria to differentiate between mineable
and non-mineable reserves of coal, Lanterman Creek has no
I underground mineable reserve potential except perhaps of very
limited extent in the immediate vicinity of Outcrop No. 41.
Y Therefore, no attempt has been made to assign reserve figures to
the Lanterman Creek property.
6.0 QUALITY
- 25 -
The first quality information on the Lanterman Creek property
comes from Mr. Buckham's Field Diary. The outcrop sampled was
the coal seam encountered at Outcrop No. 41 on Map No. 5.
At this outcrop a 6 meter (20 foot) seam was encountered which
consisted of interbedded coal, bony coal and shale. It is not
know how the seam was sampled so the coal may or may not be
oxidized. Also, the sampler may have high graded the sample and
taken only the good bright coal for analysis.
A Mr. Geo Hanney took a sample from this outcrop, which was
received at Union Bay, June 1, 1951 and analyzed June 7 by
P.F. Grundy; No. 51-770. The results of that analysis are as
follows:

In 1984, Idemitsu Kosan carried out a field reconnaisance of the
Lanterman Creek Property. Their geologists took 3 samples from
Outcrop No. 41. These samples were numbered PLY 1 (0.56m) PLY 2
(1.7m) and PLY 3 (1.56ml and were obtained from a hand dug trench
of approximately 0.15 to 0.20 meters depth. The litholog and

During the 1985 Drilling Program one core hole was drilled. This
hole numbered L.C. 85-08 core was drilled in the northern portion
of the Lanterman Creek property approximately 0.5 miles northeast
of Outcrop No. 41. The interval sampled was from 77.25 meters to
78.01 meters for 0.76 meters (2.49 feet). Of this 0.76 meters
there was 0.11 meters (0.36 feet) of core loss. The lost sample
in both cases was coal. The litholog, lithlogic descrption and
core photos for this hole are all in Appendix I of this report.

this would be quite a good thermal coal product. With an

From April 17, 1985 until April 23, 1985 time was spent preparing
the drill sites, showing MacMillan Bloedel the access to be used
and setting up accounts.
Actual drilling commenced on April 24, 1985 and continued without
a break until May 17, 1985 for a total of 24 days. The drilling
company used was Drillwell Enterprises out of Cowichan Bay and
the logging company was Davies Exploration Logging Ltd. out of
Blairmore, Alberta. The program was carried out smoothly and
efficiently with a minimum of delays, mainly due to minor
mechanical problems.
All of the drill holes were surveyed in at the end of the program
by Ker Priestman out of Victoria, B.C.
